Saturday saw
the stunning Slowburner open proceedings. The set list (below) was much
the same as at the Plough
Inn, Hereford on 9th June but here, on a much larger stage in front
of a maximum 1,000 gate, quality showed through. Mike Bannisterís stage
presence was amazing; he played to a crowd marvelling at his showmanship
and that guitar, awesome, you had to be there to believe it - even if it
did rain just a little at the start ! Thanks guys, as usual we all
really enjoyed the set!

Another excellent
performance by the band, again joined by the awe-inspiring Matt Schofield (guitar) and Jonny
Henderson (Hammond organ), members of the awesome
Matt Schofield Trio. There was
work from an imminent new CD (provisionally titled 'Swagger') with a
funk/jazz style about it and some favourites including - Revelator
(John The Apostle) and She Got the Devil In Her/ I Gotta Try You Baby
from the highly acclaimed 'Meat & Potatoes' album - truly amazing.
Ian deserved his liquid refreshment!

Desi in full flow
